Never Forget! Three Days That the USA Was Attacked By Enemies... January 6th, December 7th and September 11th...

January 6th, December 7th and September 11th... Three Days the USA Was Attacked By Enemies... Never Forget!

I Have Come to Believe Most of the "Official Story" of 9/11.


I believe that Saudi Arabians, Lead by Osama bin Laden, Hijacked Airplanes and Flew them into the World Trade Center in New York City. About 3,000 American Died on that Day... and About 6,000 Americans Died in the Crazy Wars that George Bush the Son Started in Response to 9/11... OOPS!


Obviously, He Blew Up the Wrong Countries. We Now Know that Iraq had NO Weapons of Mass Destruction, They had NO Ties to Al-Qaeda and Nothing at all to Do with 9/11... That was a Saudi Operation... However, since we are Enslaved to Saudi OIL, He Couldn't Attack our Masters... so he selected Countries that he was SURE would Not Fight back too strongly...






And then George Bush the Son Failed to FIND Osama bin Laden... Mighty Strange... They Were both Investors in the Carlyle Group (an Oil Investment Club) ... Maybe George was FAILING INTENTIONALLY to Protect a Fellow Oil Man...


And then, President Obama Found Osama and Had The Navy Seals Kill Him... and... Osama has NOT Caused any Trouble Since He's BEEN DEAD.


Joe Biden Ended the War in Afghanistan Because NO ONE Could Explain Why We Were There!


Speaking of the "Official Story" --- Some truly Strange Events DID Happen... World Trade Center BUILDING SEVEN Fell Down. No Airplane Hit that Building... Its Collapse Looked like a Controlled Demolition... It takes about a Week to set all the Charges to make a Controlled Demolition Happen... so they would have had to Start Wiring that Building on Sept 4th... Were they TIPPED OFF That an Attack was Coming on September 11th?


Another Unsolved Mystery:



All Photographs of an Airplane at the Pentagon on 9/11/2001 Have Been Deleted. Apparently, The FBI, The US Military, Google, Bing and DuckDuckGo Have ALL Conspired to Remove All Photographs from the Internet... Worldwide...

LOOK FOR YOURSELF! Is This A Deep State Conspiracy? WHY Are They Hiding The Pictures? WHY Are They Hiding The Truth?





Google Put a Lot of Effort to Scrub the Web of All Photographs of an Airplane... So there would be NO EVIDENCE That the "Official Story" is True... WHY? Who Benefits? What is the Advantage of Billions of People Realizing that We Have Been Lied to By The US Government?






Try a IMAGE SEARCH on Duck Duck Go... SEE? The "Deep State" has Corrupted The Libertarian Alternative to Google... Everyone, Everywhere is Conspiring to SUPPRESS ALL PHOTOGRAPHS of The Truth! "They" Don't Want You to Know That Saudi Arabians Hijacked An Airplane and Flew it Into the Pentagon on 9/11... WHY???

Try it for Yourself! Type the Three Words airplane Pentagon 9/11 into any Image Search Engine... They are ALL Corrupt!





FBI Vault Photo - Shiny (Not Burnt at All) Airplane Parts at Pentagon on 9/11 - This is Supposedly "Proof" That an Airplane Was Really There??? BOGUS! There ARE Photographs of a Giant Ball of Fire... How Did This Part Escape UNBURNED?

SE Said on FaceBorg:

Right-wingers are constantly screaming that there are just as many extremists on the left as there are on the right, and they love to say that the left is just as corrupt as the right. I see absolutely no evidence of any of this, and they can never provide any evidence of these accusations. Both parties are NOT the same, not even close. There is a huge difference between supporting a coup to overturn an election and supporting Medicare for all. There is a huge difference between thinking all student loans should be forgiven and believing that lizard people are taking over the planet. I'm sorry, but none of this craziness is happening on the left. Nobody can ever provide an example of anything coming from the left which even comes close to the insanity coming from the right. Both sides are NOT the same. Maybe they were the same at some point, but now the right has completely gone off the rails.

VKK Replied:

The only major extremism I ever see coming from the left are the hard-core SJWs. Not gonna lie I laughed out loud at the lizard people.

SE Replied:

It is totally laughable, but they actually believe it. I agree about the hardcore SJWs, but at least they're living in reality. Extremists on the right have completely gone off the deep end.




When did you stop being an SJW and why?

https://www.quora.com/When-did-you-stop-being-an-SJW-and-why


Oh boy, this is going to be a LONG one because I need to get it off my chest. But it boils down to this: SJW bullcrap almost ruined every single one of my human relationships and wrecked my mental health. My fiancé (with the patience of a saint) helped me see reason again.

Alright, let’s preface this: I’m an artist, mentally unwell and a bisexual woman and definitely the optimistic chronically people pleasing dreamer type - terribly predisposed to getting swept away into shit like this. I'm not stupid, just REALLY sensitive. To a point where my brain's computing power doesn't always matter because my heart does all the thinking. So yeah, I guess in a way I AM a bit dense.

I started waking up to the reality of things when my fiancé got fed up with what I put him through for years and little by little started challenging these ideas and opinions of mine. It didn't take long for it to sink in that they weren't truly my opinions, but someone else's words shoved into my mouth. Another's slogans spat out with the force of my own anger and festering bitterness. That set off the first alarm bell.

Like a lot of people, I fell into it in my early 20s and on tumblr. At an angry age, on a platform full of other angry kids and twentysomethings who constantly validate each other’s stupid ideas and are scared to talk about what REALLY goes on in their heads. You know, the worst sort of an echo chamber. When you're young and stupid you're too young and stupid to understand you're young and stupid. Long story short I shared some thoughts with the SJWs and before I knew it I'd internalised ALL of it, hook line and sinker.

All that came out of my mouth was slogans and feelings spoken as truths. "LGBT+ people are terribly oppressed!!!! homophobia is EVERYWHERE!!!!!" was just my code for "I haven't accepted myself as I am, I feel like an outsider and was bullied for it a long time ago" for example. I externalised my feelings as an individual and thought that what I experienced MUST HAVE been the way every gay person felt. Because misery loves company. And that's precisely what the ideology is about.

I didn't notice when personal became political.
I didn't see how this bs ideology and how I went off on angry rants hurt my relationships to the people I'm actually supposed to care for. Instead of calling my parents I screamed for hours on social media about shit that’s none of my business. Instead of standing up for myself and my friends I stood up for strangers. Instead of enjoying a movie with my fiance I now criticised and nitpicked everything about it and felt threatened by him for no reason other than he's a straight white man. I didn't notice how scared I was to draw anything even remotely problematic in years and that the panic and self-censorship had entirely killed my creative drive which has been one of my core character traits since early childhood. What little I drew or wrote no longer came from heart but was a checklist to fill. I wasn't painting my own feelings and telling my own stories but trying to please others and feed the propaganda factory. There was no soul in anything I did, and back then I didn't understand why. I avoided thinking about my own pain and self by thinking about people I had been told deserved my love and support more.

I had become angry, suspicious of everyone, my own family and friends included. I was controlling, cold and manipulative, constantly fed my anger by reading about all these things that were supposedly wrong in the world. I (ironically) lumped people into groups based on skin color and sexuality or whatever other characteristic, and assigned value to people based on traits they can't control. By the SJW logic in me, a rich black woman was more "oppressed" and less fortunate than a homeless white man - which I find morally revolting in retrospect. I was suddenly scared of straight people, even though I haven't gotten a single mean word for being gay since the beginning of high school. My old traumas related to men resurfaced and I fed them and opened up about them to strangers on the internet instead of my psych team (who I considered a bunch of "ableist assholes who wanted to change me because they hate mentally ill people"... the leaps in logic were truly legendary). Essentially, the stuff fueled my PTSD, paranoia and psychotic depression.

I felt threatened, I felt powerless and weak, like the underdog. I was convinced everyone was against me, everyone except this new ideological group that gave me a sense of belonging even though I had never met these fucking people.
Then... It just hit me that this is how they want me to be. They WANT me to be weak, oppressed and powerless. See this was the logic: "If I'm a victim I have a "right" to beat "back" anyone who's mean to me." Of course this spoke to that bitterness and sense of not belonging I had always had lurking deep within me. But keeping you down is not something that people who care about your wellbeing do. This was another big red flag and a pivotal point in shifting my thinking. No person who loved me has ever said “You can’t do that because you’re x”, but these people sure love to do it.

Then, if you renounce your victim status they see it as a betrayal. If you, as a woman/gay/whatever, say that in fact you're doing just fine and nothing can really stop you from living your dream life... That takes away their excuse to be miserable and mean.

There's no empowerment to be found in grasping onto victimhood. You just turn into one miserable mean shithead among all the rest.

Ever since I realised that, my life has changed a lot since. All for the better.

Now I prioritise my work and being authentic. I keep my internet time to a minimum (in the end, I don't use it for much else than work and memes anyway), and try to shower the care, worry and empathy to my friends and family instead of strangers on the other side of the fucking globe. Instead of wallowing in how society is supposedly holding me back, I work and am doing well. I learned to trust my psych nurse doctor and therapist and believe that recovery is, in fact, a good thing and not an ableist conspiracy. Instead of telling myself I can't do x because I'm y I just... fucking do it. I draw messed up horror and weird erotica. I write the cheesiest romance I can possibly come up with and don't for a second think "oh I should probably add a black person here even though the story is set in iron age Ireland and doing that would totally not just be crude and offensive virtue signaling". I don't feel bad about myself (except for having been a stereotypical nightmare SJW) or the things I create, I'm having fun. I've been taking commissions for the first time ever for the past two years now, and I've done a LOT of portraits and a couple of book covers and some fun erotic pieces. At first I was worried not jumping through all the hoops of political correctness as an artist and sacrificing my creative integrity would repel customers but I quickly realised... I really don't want to make art for people who expect that anyway. My work is literally not for them.
I watch "problematic" old movies with my fiance. I laugh at shit that would've made me cry and rage just a handful of years back. I enjoy the shows and books I did as a kid and no longer feel like I have to let go of a thing that makes me happy just because it's "problematic". I work on my health instead of desperately trying to convince myself I'm happy with being obese and in constant joint pain (20 pounds down!) and that others are just being mean to me. I'm kind and polite to people I meet regardless of what they look like, and judge them by their actions and how they treat others. I give respect where respect is due and don't trust a single raging lunatic who tries to forcefully shove their opinions down my throat. I know that in the end they don't have my best interests at heart. They're trying to pull me into a deeper grave instead of letting me pull them up.

I know there's a lot of good, kind hearted people there and a LOT of good intentions. It's insanely easy to renounce responsibility and to blame the world for your misfortune, hell, it's natural for us humans to look for someone to blame when we feel something's wrong. Thing is, I can't blame an entire group of people for trauma that a handful of bullies and abusers with personal problems caused.

Every day I thank my lucky stars I'm marrying the man who had the courage to face that fucking beast. The one that stuck beside me all through that - I'm not sure I could have done so myself. I don't know how to thank him enough for how gentle and wise he is, or how to get across just how much I love and appreciate the fact that he cared enough to talk me out of it instead of just leaving.

A Brief History of the War In Iraq. OOPS, We Blew Up The Wrong Country. On 9/11 Fourteen (14) SAUDI ARABIAN Hijackers Flew Airplanes into The World Trade Center. Five (5) Were NOT Saudis.

George W. Bush (the Son) felt that He Could NOT go to War with The ACTUAL people that Caused 9/11 so he had the CIA write FALSE Reports so he could start a War Against Iraq. Years Later We Learned that Iraq Had No WMD, Had No ties to Al Qaeda and Had Nothing at all to do with 9/11.

Ending the Afghan War is a Great Idea. Thank You, Joe Biden. ---> NOW, Let's Have 15 Years of Peace... Where the USA Does NOT Blow Up Random Countries For No Reason.

Thank YOU for Ending the Afghan War - Biden Harris - Now: 15 Years of Peace

After we Lost the War in Vietnam, We Had 15 Years of Peace Because The US Government Had "Learned Its Lesson." And then Ronald Ray Gun Took Sides in Nicaragua's Civil War... GEE, Does Anyone Remember Who Won? or Who The "Good Guys" Were? Or Where Nicaragua is on The Map?  I Do Remember that the CIA Imported Cocaine by the TON in Order to Finance That War... My Neighborhood Turned into a Crack Crazy Ghetto... 

Do We Get a Peace Dividend? Since the Taxpayers Will NO LONGER Be Spending Billions of Dollars on "The Great Game" What If We Refunded a Few Thousand Dollars PER PERSON To The Taxpayers?  

The Afghan People That Helped the Foreign Invaders (USA) are Traitors. They Fought Against Their Own People... I Support the "Stay in Afghanistan" Policy of the Taliban. All Afghan People Ought to Help Rebuild Their Country... It's a Very Similar Policy to the "Stay in Mexico" of the Trump Era that the SCOTUS Just Validated as a Dang Good Idea! Whatever Happens, I Sure Hope those People Don't Move into MY Neighborhood... Let 'em Go Live in DirkaDirkaStan... or Texas... 

Team America World Police Movie


Team America: World Police is a 2004 black comedy action film directed by Trey Parker and written by Parker, Matt Stone and Pam Brady, all of whom are also known for the popular animated television series South Park. Starring Parker, Stone, Kristen MillerMasasaDaran NorrisPhil HendrieMaurice LaMarche, Chelsea Marguerite, Jeremy Shada and Fred Tatasciore, the film is a satire of big-budget action films and their associated clichĂ©s and stereotypes, with particular humorous emphasis on the global implications of the politics of the United States. The title is derived from domestic and international political criticisms that the foreign policy of the United States frequently and unilaterally tries to "police the world". 

Remember: ALWAYS REFUSE TO VOLUNTEER FOR THE US MILITARY. Why Die For Corporate Profit? I Interviewed Hundreds of Veterans and They ALL Said Joining the US Military Was A Mistake...

I worked at the Welfare Office in Humboldt County, California and Talked to Thousands of Homeless People applying for Food Stamps, Medi-Cal and General Relief...

I Met Many HOMELESS VETERANS...
It Was Really Eye Opening To Hear Their Tragic Stories...
However... They All Agreed that The US Military Was a Bad Career Choice... PTSD is Very Real and Very Difficult to Help...
For One Thing, Many PTSD Soldiers Refuse any Help
FROM THE MILITARY... Too Many Lies Have Made Veterans Very Suspicious of Anything Told to Them By The Military Industrial Complex... Totally Justified Paranoia...

How to Disrupt the Military Industrial Complex. A Step by Step Guide to the Violet Overgrow of the US Gubbermint. 

First Realize that: We Waste a Lot of Engineering Talent Designing Better Weapons. Those Draftsmen, Designers and Engineers COULD BE Doing Something Useful With Their Life BUT, Sadly, They Work for LaughHead, Raytheon, Dow and DuPont...

There ARE Meetings where Employees Decide WHICH CONTRACTS TO BID ON. We Simply Started Bidding on Civilian Projects. 

At MY JOB... We made Data Encryption Computers that Allowed USAF Airplanes to Communicate Securely with The Base. That Same Computer was also useful for Banks to Allow Automatic Teller Machines to Communicate Securely with the Bank. Everyone at Work STOPPED Doing Work for the WAR MACHINE and Started Preventing Bank Robbery... GEE, That's a Much Better Way To Earn a Living. At That Time I was Recently Divorced and on Dates, The Woman often asked "What Do You Do For A Living?" and NOW, I Had a Respectable Job! Many "Organic Earth Mothers" Select to NOT Associate with Defense Contractors... Just too creepy a Way to Earn a Living... Killing People for Corporate Profit... 

Not Only Do We Waste Trillions of Taxpayer Dollars Fighting Wars In Countries Far Away Against "Enemies" that Pose No Threat to the USA... But... We Also Cause Vast Ecological Damage. Depleted Uranium Bullets in Iraq and Yugoslavia Have increased Miscarriages. Therefore THOSE GENES will not be part of Future Generations. That's the Basic Definition of Genocide. Who Could Possibly Benefit from Bombing? All those Destroyed Houses and Destroyed Lives... then the people become refugees... WTF? And Lockheed Designed Smart Bombs That Kill People in Yemen That are NOT Attacking the USA instead of Designing Electric Cars, Solar Cells, Windmills or Better Air Conditioners...

Of Course, We Still Need People to March in Protest Marches... NO NUKES! Demonstrations Have Actually Worked! But in this Crazy World We All Need to Pull Together As A Team... People on the Inside, Voluntarily Selecting to Refuse to Bid On Pentagon Contracts... People on the Outside Beating Drums in Lafayette Park... OR BOTH!

Step Two: Use the Power of the Internet to INFLUENCE PUBLIC OPINION... Just Like We Marched in the Streets Protesting the Vietnam War AND EVENTUALLY CHANGED THE BEHAVIOR OF THE US GOVERNMENT... We Now Have an Opportunity to Digitally Walk Around With a Protest Sign Stating: "Cut the Pentagon Budget in Half and Refund the Money to the Taxpayers!"

A Handy Guide to the Violet Overgrow is Contained in my eBook called: AMERICA'S BOGUS WARS (Cut the Defense Budget in Half and Refund the Money to the Taxpayers) by Gregory Vanderlaan - Chapter Zero: Since 1945, The Pentagon Has Never Defended The Country, Not Even Once. Ever since VJ Day (Victory in Japan), All of Our Wars have been Marketing Tools to Sell Weapons for the Military Industrial Complex. One time there was a Need to Defend the Country and The Military Failed Completely. Civilians took down the Airplane in Pennsylvania on 9/11/2001.

Think this through with me... Often we choose sides in Someone Else's Civil War, Get Real Excited about Fighting Communism (or whatEVER) and then Lose interest, Retreat, Lose and the Total Effect is ZERO. For Example: Vietnam. After 10 years of fighting, we lost and then The Surrounding Countries DID NOT Fall like Dominos... Believe it or not, There was a "Domino Theory" proposed by Vice President Richard Nixon that Stated that, If we lost in Vietnam, the neighboring Countries would become Communist and then the Entire World would GO Commie and we will have Reds Ruling Mexico! And Attacking the USA! I'm not making this up... There were people that really believed this theory... and were willing to send other people's children to die because they were Fighting Communism. Danger Danger! If we don't beat the Reds in Vietnam they will come right up to our border... ABSURD! For those of you that have never heard of Dominos, it's a game with numbered tiles that you could stack in rows so that if you pushed one over, it would hit the next and that one would hit the next... and on and on and on... and they would all fall down. This was popular before Video Games.

However, Hughes Aircraft, Dow Chemical and other Defense Contractors MADE A FORTUNE... People that sell Bandages, need Bleeding Soldiers to use them up... and then they make a Sale Restocking the Military. Helicopters, Agent Orange, Napalm, Boots, Boats and Food were all wonderful businesses to be in... Soldier Have to Eat... We can sell more MRE if there is an active war than during peacetime... To Quote Country Joe McDonald: "Come on Wall Street Don't Move Slow, Why Man this War's a Go-Go. There is Plenty Good Money to be Made, Supplying the Army with the Tools of the Trade! Just hope and Pray when they Drop the Bomb, They drop it on the Viet Cong..." Defense Contractors kept the war going for a long as possible. Nixon's Campaign Promise was to End the War but he kept it going an extra FOUR Years. If you think about it, We could have Won that War in ONE DAY. A Hydrogen Bomb on Hanoi would have Ended The War. Totally. We knew HOW to WIN since we we Dropped Atomic Bombs on Japan. BUT, we selected to Lose.

One real effect of that war was: we got a LOT of immigrants. Vietnamese Boat People and Hmong... They came here by the Thousands... and then the Country of Vietnam became a Capitalist Manufacturing Country... Go Figure! They did not like being Commie after all. In general, the refugees were nice people and no one can imagine WHY we would go to war with them...

I don't know much about the Korean War. All I really know is the M*A*S*H TV Show and The Manchurian Candidate Movie. Somehow we fought for a while, quit and those people over there solved their own problems... or not... Hey, It's their country, they should do whatever they do without the USA's Help.

American History: The Humboldt County Timber Wars... A Hostile Takeover of Pacific Lumber Company and The Extreme Logging of Old Growth Redwoods in Northern California. MAXXAM SUXX

In 1985 Charles Hurwitz borrowed money (Junk Bonds) from Michael Milken and bought the company Pacific Lumber, located near Eureka, California. Then Hurwitz increased the rate of logging in the Redwood Forest and cut down all the highly profitable trees. Then he split his corporation MAXXAM into two divisions. One division was used to do actual logging and sawing of boards and the other division was used to hide the profits. When the bill came due on the Junk Bonds, Hurwitz declared bankruptcy and took the money back to Texas. Including the pension funds that paid retirement benefits for employees...

Then the Pacific Lumber Company was purchased at a foreclosure sale by The Fisher Family. They had made a fortune selling clothes at a chain of stores called "The Gap". They reintroduced the business plan called "sustainable logging" where the Lumberjacks would only cut down as many trees as grew during the year. This plan was invented by the original owner of Pacific Lumber, Simon J. Murphy... The concept was to cut 1% of the forest every year and plant new trees so that in a hundred years the new trees would have grown big enough to harvest.

Earth First!

During this time there were many ecology protests in Humboldt County. Including "Tree Sits" where forest protectors would build a treehouse in the upper branches of a giant Redwood in order to prevent Lumberjacks from Chainsawing the tree down. It would be possibly fatal for a tree sitter to be in a tree that was falling and the corporations were not willing to risk actual Human Life for profit. (Bad Publicity)... At the Tree Sit I attended MAXXAM Hired a Local man to "Evict" the Tree Sitters by climbing the tree and wrestling with the people... eventually carrying them to the ground where the Police arrested them.

Others committed "Tree Spiking" where large metal nails were driven into the wood of a tree and then the heads of the nails were clipped off. That way, if a tree was at the sawmill and the blade hit the metal, the blade would explode killing millworkers. Once again the corporation was not willing to risk people's lives and so trees that were spiked, were not cut down. The Forest Protectors spray painted the spiked trees so that the Lumberjacks would be aware of the danger.

Still others went to the Offices of Political Leaders and staged "Sit-Ins" where they would handcuff themselves to each other and chant/sing songs while being filmed by TV Cameras... At one of these events the local police used pepper spray on the protestors who were young women. The young women screamed loudly... and it was filmed by TV Stations. When this was broadcast on the TV News it outrages the citizens of California... There is a biological reaction to young women being harmed... This Media Event lead to a massive protest Statewide and the California Legislature Bought a Large Tract of Land and created the Headwaters Forest Park... The park protecting a stand of Old Growth Redwoods near Fortuna, California. It is a pretty park with a paved trail that is popular with people that have wheeled vehicles like bicycles, wheelchairs, skateboards and baby buggies. The hike from the parking lot to the Giant Redwood Trees is about five miles and simply too far for most people to walk but it's easy for people on wheels.

Another technique used to stop the logging was Scientific Ecology Studies that concluded that the Spotted Owl was losing it's habitat and it was in danger of going extinct. See Illustration below...

Two members of the Ecology Group Earth First! were bombed by the FBI in Oakland. There was a Trial and the FBI agreed to award the Survivor a large cash settlement but denied doing anything wrong. Judi Beri died and  Darryl Cherney Survived. He has retired from Activism but still performs as the leader of a musical group. They sing satire protest songs...

The Teachings of Don Juan: A Yaqui Way of Knowledge was published by the University of California Press in 1968 as a work of anthropology, though many critics contend that it is a work of fiction.[1] It was written by Carlos Castaneda and submitted as his Master's thesis in the school of Anthropology.
